This book ❤️ I feel like I can aptly say, I devoured it. I felt the female rage deeply, and though I am not a mother, I felt kinship with the mother, the Nightbitch.
The female experience of being defined by your ability to creat life, and thus being expected to do so, and to want to do so, to have certain dreams nullified in order to make life, is something, I think we all experience.
I feel for the Nightbitch, and hope to find my own mythical womanhood.
I am sure this book would have hit even harder and deeper, had I been a mother. Everyone should read it. It is surely on the feminist doctrine.
